My girlfriend loves my E39 M5 but she is too scared to drive it! Not that I am stopping her from doing so, as long as I'm with her.....

Rubbing off on my Girlfriend

Apparently, I make sometimes funny comments about other cars when I drive. So subjecting my GF to the M6 since last November, she has learned what to say to make me laugh.

We saw a BMW 650i parked the other day.......she elbows me and says "Honey, that BMW is left something at the dealership"....I said what? "That BMW is missing about 200 hp"......

Almost crashed the car from laughing.

This car was featured in eurotuner a few months back and had the link for his website and the link for his company FastSoft, which was started from performing such an extensive overhaul and substantial upgrades/ modifications. It enables him to showcase his IT abilities, basically. Pretty good for a guy that had never touched a car in his life... An understatement to say the least.

So far I have never gotten into the throttle with my wife aboard (of course I have only had the beast a few days). My wife gets sick easily so a couple full throttle blasts would easily make her throw up.

She say's it's my "mid-life' crisis car. Of course she is happy since in her mind I could have gone for a Harley or a blonde
